Guwahati: The Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) has decided to reduce land premium rates for patta allotment and mutation, a move expected to bring relief to landless people and existing landowners across the region. The decision was taken at a meeting of the BTC Executive Council in Kokrajhar on November 6, chaired by Chief Executive Member Hagrama Mohilary.
At the meeting, Mohilary also said the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) would not be able to extend 100 per cent support to any fresh movement demanding a separate Bodoland at this juncture. Speaking to the media, he expressed concern that another phase of agitation could adversely affect the younger generation and trigger renewed tensions between Bodo and non-Bodo communities.
Mohilary said another movement could disrupt the lives and future of young people while potentially creating fresh conflicts between communities. He clarified, however, that the party’s inability to extend full support to another agitation at this stage should not be interpreted as opposition to the demand for a separate Bodoland.
He maintained that the BPF was neither rejecting nor abandoning the demand. Instead, he said, the prevailing circumstances were not conducive to launching another agitation, given the possible consequences for the region’s social harmony and younger generation.
